The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 24

Lucy was floored with astonishment.

What’s the background of Grace?

Well, look at that! No sooner had Lucy said that Grace was doomed, Lucy had an egg on her face…

Lucy knew Mr. Walker, but she had seen Grace’s CV. How could an orphan from a welfare institution rub shoulders with the likes of Tom?

Lucy felt that things might not be so simple, so she discreetly pulled back and made a phone call.

The crowd looked at Grace with newfound respect.

Tom didn’t notice the crowd’s gazes at all.

Tom squatted by Grace’s side and massaged her legs. When he looked at her, his eyes twin k l e d like stars, his grin as cute as a button.

“It’s been ages, Grace. You’re growing prettier by the day. Gorgeous ladies shouldn’t let a little rascal like me upset them – it’s bad for the complexion!”

With her slender fingers, Grace jabbed him on the forehead, her red lips hovering by his ear whispering a warning, “Cut the cra p. Behave on the crew from now on. If you stir up any more trouble, I’ll spill the beans to Senior Mr. Walker about your little escapades.”

“Don’t! He will surely beat me to death with the domestic discipline!”

Tom winced as if feeling a pang of pain, quickly begging Grace for mercy, “Grace, I promise, I listen to you the most.”

Grace’s lips curled into a smile, “In that case, go apologize to the janitor.”

“Huh?”

Tom’s expression changed. “Me, the dignified Mr. Walker, apologize to a janitor? Where am I supposed to put my face, Grace…”

Grace dropped her smile and put on a serious look.

“What era are we living in that we still segregate folks into high and low, noble and humble? You threw a tantrum, and smashed things up, but the janitor did nothing wrong. She ended up cleaning your mess. She even tried to calm you down and you snubbed her. Shouldn’t you take responsibility?”

Tom was totally depressed.
